Question

• What regions of the world tend to have the highest and lowest precipitation rates (compare tropics versus sub-tropics)? How does this impact water distribution, globally?

Answer 1

Answer:

Regions with a higher amount of rainfall are those of equatorial regions and those of the low rainfall are polar areas.

Explanation:

• The regions in the tropics and the subtropics receive a significant amount of rainfall while the place at the places receives only 10 inches f rainfall and regions are dry annually with rain occurring only in summer.

• The tropical areas are those that surround the earth equator and are found 23 degrees north and south. As the sun is usually in direct contact and this region comprise of 40% of the surface area and 35% of the earth's landmass. And remains warm to hot and moist year-round.

• These regions are characterized by wet season and thus have most of the cyclonic activity through the year and this impacts the global distribution of water as the movement of the warm and cold water stakes form these regions, along with the variation in salinity.
